A taptic engine that delivers haptic feedback? I feel titillated!

Awesome, but I will not buy a MB pro until they make it lose some weight. I know it will never weight as much as the new MacBook, but I want it to get lighter.

I’ll have to go try this out. I haven’t bought in to touch screens on a laptop; my current ASUS has that feature, and I almost never use it. Apple seems to have the trackpad technology nailed, so I am interested to see if this is an improvement.

BTW, how is the keyboard on the 13” MBP? That is a most important feature, and on my ASus laptop, the keyboard is abysmal.

It'll be interesting to see if the iPhone 6S and 6S+ get Force Touch functionality on the touchscreen when that arrives in late September 2015.

I refuse to swap Mavericks for Yosemite. I have heard terrible things about Yosemite.

More overpriced crappy Apple stuff that will titillate the gays, the fanbois, and the Asians looking for prestige.

I’m still using my 17” MBP from 2011 - with 8GB and a 1TB hard drive. It’s a little big and heavy, but I need the 17” screen - the 15” feels too small to me.
